Not an awful plan, but how are they going to do it? Who are they going to sign that'll make up the 22 games necessary to win it all? They don't do well in the premiere free agent market. They don't have a lot of positional young talent ready to step in. They don't have a lot of assets to trade.

Time will tell, but they're in a corner right now. You can't deny that.

If Danks can recover, then I'm fine with the pitching staff. This is minus Peavy and possibly Floyd.

But I worry about the nine guys on the diamond. Are they good enough? I'm not convinced of that right now.

Yeah where does the 22 games come from? I'm sure Danks is more than capable of giving the team the 10 wins or so that Peavy gave them last year. Even if his ERA and other stats aren't as good.

I love that the Sox are not intentionally trying to tank seasons like their neighbors up north, but it would be nice to have some more position players to be excited about. I haven't really had that since Thomas and Ventura ... 20 years ago.

Maybe Hawkins will be enough. How far is he away?

I would rather not see Hawkins here for at least two years, more like three. We are kind of set at outfield for a while until Rios and Dunn's contracts are up, so Hawkins, Mitchell and Thompson can take their time.

In two years with the White Sox, Dunn has played in the Outfield in seven games.

If they see it as possibly their last contract, sure. But, if they worry that their stats will suffer and hurt their next contract, they'll consider taking a little less to play somewhere better suited to them.

i don't know, the Giants don't look like worldbeaters outside their pitching staff and have won 2 of 3 Series now.
